Last week we served 513 kids. This was a total 3528 breakfast and 3528 lunches dispersed in our community! We would like to send out some special thanks yous this week to Vanderwall trucking, Cindy and Slim, for the donation of bottled water. We would also like to thank Superintendent Gwen Glazier, Beth Thompson and family, Branden Newton, Sue Roe, Alexis Monk and Bonnie Muller for donating their time to help distribute the water and food last week.
